Why Are Some on the Left Falling for Fake News on Syria?

"Assad, a dictator by any definition, and his ally Putin are both seen as
bastions of anti-U.S. resistance [by the left]. The leaps of logic that
some on the left are engaging in, in order to vilify Syrian rebels and
civilians in favor of these two leaders, are breathtaking."

Kucinich was paid to speak alongside genocide deniers and pro-Assad
lobbyists

"Kucinich received some $20,000 from the Association for Investment in
Popular Action Committees, a California-based group that acts as the parent
organization for the Syria Solidarity Movement. [...]   The Syria
Solidarity Movement’s politics aren’t difficult to discern. Not only does
the organization push posts from Russia propaganda outlets while blaming
“corporate media propaganda against Syria,” but it further claims that
organizations like Doctors Without Borders and Amnesty International are
little more than front groups for the United States in Syria."
